Yesterday, the Didona Architects Associates presented their updated master plan for the renovation of Richter Park. Due to an outcry over the original plan, which included an abandonment of the Richter House, a new master plan was drafted.
The new plan was introduced to the public at City Hall yesterday during an "informal" meeting although many of the supporters of the Richter House were unable to attend due to a dinner for Barry Richter. Also curious was the presentation was the fact that the event was not publicized in any manner with many people hearing about the presentation be word of mouth.
I received several emails asking me if I could attend the meeting and videotape the presentation. For those who couldn't make it last night, here's video footage of the presentation in full (unedited). I scanned the entire Master Plan and will make the document available for viewing later today.

On September 26, 2007, ten plaintiffs filed suit in response to an arrest of aday laborers at a public park in Danbury, Connecticut. Plaintiffs amended their complaint on November 26, 2007.
The amended complaint states that plaintiffs sought to remedy the continued discriminatory and unauthorized enforcement of federal immigration laws against the Latino residents of the City of Danbury by Danbury's mayor and its police department.
Plaintiffs allege that the arrests violated their Fourth Amendment rights and the Connecticut Constitution because defendants conducted the arrests without valid warrants, in the absence of exigent circumstances, and without probable cause to believe that plaintiffs were engaged in unlawful activity. In addition, plaintiffs allege that defendants improperly stopped, detained, investigated, searched and arrested plaintiffs. Plaintiffs also allege that defendants violated their Fourteenth Amendment rights when they intentionally targeted plaintiffs, and arrested and detained them on the basis of their race, ethnicity and perceived national origin. Plaintiffs raise First Amendment, Due Process and tort claims.
Plaintiffs request declaratory relief, damages and attorneys fees.
